WTF is up with the Cleary signing? We already have TOO MANY FORWARDS!!! We are OVER THE CAP! And he STILL had to be signed? My God. I can't, and won't, support this move. We are going to lose a more talented player (and I don't know who) because we just had to have ALL OF THEM. They are hockey players, not Pokemon.

Tatar is out of options, isn't he? Doesn't he have to play in Detroit this year?

Nyquist going back down to GR for the year, uhg. I was so looking forward to the youth movement.

Correct, Tatar is no longer waiver exempt. The only 2 players that were supposed to be on the roster that still are exempt are Nyquist, who has all of 2 games left in the NHL before his expires, and DeKeyser.

Unless they can unload Samuelsson and one of Eaves/Tootoo, this is absolutely ridiculous. I love Dan Cleary as a 3rd line guy who can bump up a line when needed, but in this case... this roster is a huge mess. Yikes.

The most popular choice among the Red Wings as to who would volunteer to play goalie – several Panthers did in their game – was Brendan Smith.

"He's pretty competitive and he seems to be good at everything," Justin Abdelkader said. "He'd volunteer himself."

Babcock was a bit more hesitant about Smith. "Yeah, yeah, just work on getting out of your zone," Babcock said

Damn was really hoping he would sign with the Flyers. Not that I hate Cleary, but Tatar, Anderson, Nyquist help this team more, if in fact he does take one of those spots. I don't see Sammy or Bert going anywhere.
